Tight and focused and very bright and sleek and correct. Thick and dense with some saltiness but real integrity, though it is certainly very sweet! (JR)

(includes 20% merlot) Good medium ruby-red. Captivating nose melds black plum, coffee, mocha and sexy brown spices. Juicy, sweet and nicely filled in (the merlot influence?); a plush, suave wine with an attractive black raspberry flavor dominating. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and sneaky length. This has to be the best cabernet yet under this label-not to mention the most consistently excellent set of releases to date from Gramercy Cellars.
The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from three vineyards. and aged for 22 month in 40% new French oak. Purple/black in color, it is a layered, Rubenesque offering with loads of succulent fruit, incipient complexity, enough underlying structure to evolve for 3-5 years, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Its drinking window will extend from 2013 to 2027. Gramercy Cellars was started by Master Sommelier Greg Harrington in 2005. In a short time he has established a high bar for himself. Tel.
